{SwanღThief} Emma&Neal #71: If time is on our side, there will be no more tears to cry





The Swan and the Thief


• • •


Welcome to the 71st
EMMA SWAN & NEAL CASSIDY
Appreciation Thread










Tallahassee, baby.
Almost home.



• • •




I think I should go.


I wanted to go to jail for you! - Neal...
It kills me that I let August talk me
into letting you go.

- I don't wanna hear it.
- No, okay, but I have to say it.
I wanted to look for you.
I just... I was too afraid.


- Of what?
That you would never forgive me,
- 'cause
I never forgave myself.

There hasn't been a day that's gone by
that I don't regret having left you.
-- I'm sorry, Emma. For everything.

the characters.


Baelfire/ Neal Cassidy - Michael Raymond James
Baelfire, called Bae, was Rumplestiltskin's only family and greatest treasure. Bae's mother, Milha, abandoned them when he was very young. It was to save Bae from the Ogre War battlefield that Rumplestiltskin became the Dark One. Bae makes Rumplestiltskin promise to leave behind his magic if Bae can find a way for them to be together as father and son without the magic of the Dark One. Morraine tells Bae about Reul Ghorm, the oldest and darkest magic, who gives Bae the last magic bean. This magic bean opens a portal into a land without magic (presumably our world). Bae goes through the portal, but Rumplestiltskin renigs on their deal and refuses to follow Bae. The last we see of Bae in FTL is him calling his father a coward as the portal closes.

Neal Cassidy is a young thief in love with another young thief, seventeen year old Emma Swan. They make plans to start a life together in Tallahassee, FL, but first they have some stolen property to get rid of. On his way to fence the merchandise, Neal meets August who convinces him to leave Emma for her own good. August proves to Neal that magic exists, and that the Curse is real. Neal truly loves Emma and makes August promise to let him know when the curse is broken. Neal also leaves their yellow bug and a substantial amount of money for August to give to Emma upon her release from prison. Neal does not know yet he has a son but finds out when his father, Emma, and Henry find him at his apartment in NYC.


Emma Swan - Jennifer Morrison
Admittedly, Emma Swan may seem like a rather unlikely savior. Raised in foster-care, she has struggled most of her life just trying to track down who she is herself, let alone rescue anyone else. However, her strong moral compass and uncanny ability to know when others are lying lead her to always try to do what is right. When her son Henry, who she gave up for adoption as an infant, arrived and brought her to the town of Storybrooke, there was no way she was going to abandon him again. Although absent for most of his life, she is fiercely protective of Henry, and would go to the end of the earth to care for him. And while she might not have believed her son about magic at first, she certainly does now. Fighting a dragon will do that. Now, finally reunited with the parents she has spent her whole life searching for, Emma is finding it harder than she thought to let her emotions out after a lifetime of keeping them bundled away. Still, so long as she lets her heart be her guide, she will never lose her way.


"Emma Swan is a deeply damaged woman, and a deeply conflicted woman. She is a survivor, and used to being a loner, and therefore a sucker for the underdog. Against her better judgement, she will compromise herself to fight for what is right and to help those in need. She is strong and aggressive, but her brokenness and her emotions are not buried far beneath her tough exterior. He first reaction to most things is anger, but she has spent her life trying to manage her temper. She is both rash and calculated, and is forced to deal with her instincts to protect her child, a child she believes she is not capable of mothering. In the simplest form, Emma is a list of contrasting qualities: She is hard and soft; she is intense and easy going; she is strong and vulnerable; she is safe and dangerous; she is logical and impulsive. It is exciting to play a character that is so deeply conflicted and fiercely compelled to fight for what she believes is right." (J.Morrison on playing Emma)

Me and J.Mo are super tight. We’re buddies. I work with her more than anybody and we got really close. We’re always cracking jokes and we laugh constantly. There are days where I come to work and I’ll have a freak-out about something unrelated and she knows how to fluff my aura and make it better vice versa. ”

If Morrison’s bummed out, right, she likes cheese. So sometimes I’ll surprise her and go get some cheese, these particular crackers that we put peanut butter on and I’ll find attractive fruit. Literally, she doesn’t mess with ugly fruit — so attractive fruit. So if she’s bummed out or frustrated I’ll find attractive fruit, crackers with peanut butter and cheese — not expensive, French, stinky cheeses, but the gross prepackaged kind that kids carry. She likes that.” (Michael on working with Jennifer)

the future.
A yellow bug is tying them up even if they're miles apart.
She wants to help him get away with stealing watches by stealing said watches.
Faking labor to get away? Watching a thievery couple shop-lifting never was that entertaining.
Henry playing "matchmaker" for his parents? Head-canon accepted.
11 years and thinking he sent her to jail didn't kill her love for him, nothing will.

About Henry: I can't remember if that scene was in the episode or if it was just a filming picture (+ description), but I remember seeing Henry crying in Emmas arms after she told him about Neal. I'm pretty sure he believes Neal is dead and that makes no sense to me. It's completely ooc for Henry.

We did see Henry crying and hugging Emma. He believe Neal to be dead for the same reason Emma and Gold believe he's dead.

Good. I couldn't remember if that scene was in the finale or not. We didn't see as much of Henry and Neal as I would have liked to, but I got the feeling that Henry trusts Neal. I don't think he would believe that Neal would simply leave him.

Hopefully we'll get more of Neal with Henry and with Emma in season 3.

I think Henry might have been convinced at first. He's also dealing with Emma, an eyewitness, who believes Neal died. All the adults accept that Neal's dead--and these are adults who, since the curse has broken, Henry has come to trust on their perceptions of what's happening.*

Give him a bit of time to recover. Also, let him hear Tamara and Owen gloat. That will bring out the fighter in him and give him data. I'm guessing Tamara won't be able to resist telling him she sent Neal to FTL.

Look at it from her POV. She believes magic is evil. If she heard anything about the state of FTL, she knows it's a bad place. If she hasn't, she may still believe it's a bad place (either on principle or because Pan fed her false or slanted info). I can't see her resisting telling Henry that's where she sent his father to die (if the subject comes up).

Although I wonder how Owen will react to someone gloating to an eleven year old boy that she killed his father. . . . Could bring back memories.


*Reasons (I'm guessing) they believe Neal's dead:

1. Emma: Still a cynic. Also, may have seen people die of bullet wounds in the past (she seemed certain this was a fatal wound if not treated, so either she knows a fatal bullet wound when she sees one or she was connecting to a bad experience in her past).

2. Rumple: Rumple expects life to kick him in the teeth, especially if it's his fault. He brought magic back to SB, making it possible for the beans to be used (and making it the price/consequence of his actions--unlike the earlier assumption that that was why the border erased the true memories). It also happened as he was about to give into the selfish urge to protect himself by killing his son's son. Doubly his fault.

3. Charming & Snow: Have also seen their share of mortal wounds. Emma's description may have convinced them. Have also led a war and had to deal with reports of the deaths of people they knew while having to move forward with battles. So, they may be taking Emma's description of the wound and Neal falling through the portal and making an accurate conclusion about his survival chances OR they may be in battle mode, accepting the report of a death they can't do anything about and moving onto the immediate crisis.

1. Tamara might not know where Neal went.

2. I think Emma was probably going with the idea of you get shot and don't go to a hospital, you die. Also, for all Emma knows, the world where Neal went would not be a world where he could be saved in time.

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with anyone believing that Neal is dead, but this is a show about magic. Emma saw Henry die and then she brought him back with a kiss. Impossible things happen all the time to these characters. I'm sorry, but to me it doesn't make sense that they have no doubts about it.

Maybe things will make more sense to me when season 3 starts and I hear Emma and Rumple talk about Neal. At least I hope they will talk about him.

Right now, I think Emma has seen someone die of a bullet wound before and that's what pushed her into believing she was seeing the same thing again. Everyone else's conviction stemmed from her certainty. They may start to wonder once they have some time.
